  • Boykin on playing inside

    "I just think I fit best in this scheme inside," said Boykin. "The way that we blitz and the types of routes that we get on the outside are fade routes and things like that. And with our scheme, we’ve got tall corners. They want quicker guys on the inside because, believe it or not, I get just as many balls as they do thrown at me. With my statistics, you would think I was outside, but it’s just because how often we’re on the field and how many chances I get. I really, honestly don’t have a problem with it. I am capable of playing outside. I’m capable of playing inside. And I’m sure at some point, I’m gonna have to play both. So it’s good that I get all these reps."

    ...

    "If you continue to just play and not worry about that stuff, do what you’re supposed to do, I think financially you’ll be taken care of regardless," Boykin said. "I feel like at some point, how much is enough? If you get $50 million as opposed to $70 million, are you really gonna be that mad? I guess you want to get all you can, but at the end of the day, I feel like if I can just take care of my family and be good… I like it here. I love the scheme and the coaching staff and the organization, so God willing, I’ll be here and I’ll let that [work itself out]. I’m just gonna play and try to make as many plays as possible."
    Really great article on him.

    I really, really hope he's being genuine here. If so, he's certainly a rare breed. I've been prepared to see him walk for a big dollar contract to start somewhere on the outside, but would love to see him in Eagle green for a long, long time.

      I agree with you entirely. Before that quote I did not think there was any chance he'd be back next year, especially with the play of Carroll. I wonder what the Eagles are willing and able to pay for a nickel corner considering their projected problems with the cap?
